hi, looking for advice.
I'm new to external filters, I bought the aquael ultramax for my tank, during cleaning I rinse my pads in tank water but inside the filter is dirty water, now do you guys empty it out or leave it? Sorry if it sounds a dumb question, but when I turn it back on sludge goes into the tank.
Also how do you clean the pipes that connect to the inflow and outflow?
Thank you
